Austrialian exchange rate dipped a bit...

[junior varsity]

I gotcha. So it was a near direct bolt on, minus the shim change?

[Norm]

Bolt on - VeeTwo carries the oversize shims as well. I have a couple of cards of them if you get cought short.

[junior varsity]

Which one have you used (or both) and liked better: -210 (torque) or -212 (race/track) ?

Clutch Basket Bulletin:
Part Number: V2-04-525
2V & 4V Belt Dry Clutches

Material
Billet Aluminum, hard anodized
Hard anodizing increases resistance to clutch disks wear

Weight
0.416 KG

Advantage
VEE TWO aluminum clutch baskets are considerably lighter than standard steel
issue. Our baskets further feature a support ring, which prevents basket finger
deformation under high RPM conditions. This basket will decrease the rotating mass
of your engine by up to 0.68 kg, resulting in a quicker revving engine.

User Instructions
Installation of the clutch basket is standard as per factory service procedure.
The 8 bolts holding the clutch basket in place are loctited and may be difficult to
remove. If the bolts become too difficult to remove, apply just enough heat to the
head of the bolt to loosen loctite.
If necessary, you may need to remove 1mm of material from the two bolt clearance
bosses on the steel cover to allow for clearance of the clamp ring.*

*Was not necessary on my M900.

Clutch Hub Bulletin:
Part No: V2-04-540
2V & 4V Belt Dry Clutches

Material
Billet Aluminum
Hard anodized for increasesd resistance to clutch disks wear.

Weight
0.505 KG

Advantages
VEE TWO aluminum clutch hubs are much lighter in weight than the standard alloy/
steel / rubber issue, which results in a quicker revving engine. We have eliminated
the cush drive from inside the clutch hub, in order to minimize driveline slack and
reduce driveline noise.

User Instructions
1. Remove the standard issue assembly as per factory instructions.
2. Discard standard issue hub and washer plate.
3. Re-Use your original pressure plate, spacer, lock washer
and nut with your new Vee Two hub.
4. Be sure to align the timing marks on your new hub with the standard
issue pressure plate.
5. Special Observation
It is completely normal to have a small gap between the spacer and
the hub face. All other procedures and specs will be the same as your
factory installation / removal.

Torque Grind Cam Bulletin:
Part No: V2-03-210
900SS / M / 906 / 907 Paso

Type: Torque Grind
Material: Carbon Steel, heat treated

Timing Figures:
- Running Clearance
    Inlet            0.10mm
    Exhaust       0.15mm
- Opening and Closing Figures at 1.25mm Lift
    Inlet Opening        25 degrees B.T.D.C
    Inlet Closing         55 degrees A.B.D.C
    Exhaust Opening   45 degrees B.B.D.C
    Exhaust Closing      5 degrees A.T.D.C
- Maximum Lift at Valve
    Inlet            13.1mm
    Exhaust       11.5mm

Please Note: When fitting these camshafts it may be necessary to machine 1.25mm out of
the depth of the inlet cutaway and 1.00mm out of the radius on both pistons. The underside
of the closing rocker should also be checked for clearance on the valve stem seal. If
necessary, grind enough off the rocker to allow sufficient stem seal clearance.

1. With V2 performance Cams, we endeavor to run 0 clearance through the opening and
closing cycle to prolong closing shim collet and valve groove life. However it is important that
binding does not occur. Due to errors and differences in rocker radii pin positions, etc, a
slightly wider tappet clearance than specified may be necessary. Vee Two recommends that
piston to valve clearance always be checked.

2. When checking timing in Desmo engines, not using closed springs, ensure that the bottom
rocker is held up against closing shim at position of taking cam timing figures.

3. When purchasing this cam please note that you will also require inlet valves part number
V2-13-201

i'll get the pictures added to the bulletins as soon as I can, to make life easier for future referencing.

[Slide Panda]

Thanks ATO!

[junior varsity]

thought i might be able to help!

The price of the cams are down around 450 shipped. Gotta figure out if I want the Road/Track cams, or if I need to email and order the Torque Grind.

Some notes on Cams from Brad Black's site:

(You used to be able to find this on the Moto-One.com.au site, but it appears to have gone the way of the dinosaurs.)

6 days after I ordered them, my parts arrived from the other side of the world.  Everything looks great.. I'll probably wait a bit to install so I can justify getting a new clutch pack... But I'm looking forward to it.

[sydmonster]

Nice to see/read that some of you US lads are enjoying the fruit of our Aussie labour.
Vee-Two have a small but respected niche market here. 

ps morpics!

[He Man]

Okay, i got my stuff just a min ago, but im kind of upset... seems like the item was dropped before they packed it and one of the grooves are nicked and the plates wont slide on until i file that end smooth...

[Slide Panda]

On which part? 

Drop them a line... if it's a mis-manufacture, or damaged then you should get a good one.  They have a good rep - I'd expect them to help you sort it out

[He Man]

cluctch hub, the grooves where the clutch pack slide over. its not a big knick, but enough to stop the plates from going in, but i was expecting a flawless product. i shot them an email telling them the situation but asking for nothing. maybe they will offer a free exchange (but at the cost of shipping...i rather just front them extra cash  and pay the difference on a new one, and sell it) or if they offer me free shipping on a new item ill give it to ATO so he can get those cams or something.

why wait? It takes 5 minutes to replace the plates, that includes 1 min time spent on getting to it.

Also, some questions, I have the barnett red friction material clutch pack, im not sure if they are aluminum or steel. I dont want to install the aluminum basket and have steel plates banging against it, would just destroy the thing. Are the stock plates aluminum or steel?

lastly whats the size of the socket for that center nut that holds the clutch hub?

Yeah but my plates aren't in the new camp.  I'll have a look at them - but if they have been banged around enough I'll just wait until they are a little more toast and get a brand new set to go with the other new goodies... I'm not in a rush since it's looking like a blew out my knee - which means no riding anways.

Barnett drive plates (with the friction material on them) are aluminum.

Pretty sure stock are steel.

Should be 32mm

[He Man]

alright then, ill pick up a 32mm socket and install it later this weekend, my plates are only about ~1,000 miles on them since i installed it last month so its pretty fresh.

hope your knee gets better, i havent blown them out, but i have ligament issues there, so i know how much it sucks to have to stay off them.

32mm it is!
